The Wise Woman

I think of all the wise women I have known, loved and respected.  I am alive and loving life because my friends are all "wise women".  I cannot imagine a world without the blessing of friends, sisters, mothers and other women who dance into your life with a bit of wisdom, gracefully given at the perfect moment.

As I considered throwing a baby shower for my forthcoming grandson, Asher, "Happiness" in Hebrew, I thought about his entrance into the world.  I marvel that women of ancient days, gathered together and sang to the newborn at the time of his entrance into the world.  I thought about the silly games we play at baby showers today, but still joyful rituals that celebrate the entrance of a new life onto the planet.

I thought of my wise women friends.  I thought how wonderful it would have been to have my mother gather her friends around me when I was a young, new mother-to-be.  I would have celebrated the wisdom of women who had given birth, shed tears, tried to love their child from every different angle...everything from the sting of a "wooden spoon" on the seat of their little britches, to serenading them at night with loving lullabies.

Today, my mother will be one of the "Wise Women" sitting on our council with others who have laughed and cried in the process of mothering.  My mother is the wisest woman I know.  She never raised her voice.  She never used a wooden spoon, which my daughter Ashley says I used too often.  She tucked me in a night and told me stories.  She brushed away my sorrows from the day, with a wisp of her fingers in my hair and the whispering of her sincerely given compliments to my hungry heart.   

I have tried to be a "wise woman" but have often failed my children and been sometimes, a foolish one.  I pray for their forgiveness.  I can honestly say that my children are my best friends.  We have loved much, fought little and have been there for each other.  As babies, I nursed them for many months, gazing into their eyes as they gazed back into mine.  I whispered to them about their goodness and greatness as my own mother did for me.  I expressed my love to them in the night, when they woke me for night-time nurturing.

I tried to not yell.  But, sometimes I slipped.  I never broke a wooden spoon on the seat of their pants.  I used it rarely.  Mostly, I was accused of being an "enabling mom".  I probably was....because I wanted them to have love from every angle and to never doubt that I would be there for them.  My "Wise Woman" advice to my daughter and son, Abby and Steven, is to be kind, to be kind, to be kind.

As a child, my mother reminisces about the time when she gave a family night about kindness.  She taught her three daughters to sing, "I want to be kind to everyone...." Following her lesson, she said that I walked around the house, (age 3), carrying my baby doll and rocking her back and forth singing, "to be kind", "to be kind", "to be kind".

I have wanted to pass on the gift of kindness to my children for once, on another occasion, as a child, I asked my mother, "Who will be in heaven, Mommy?"  My mother looked down on me with great big soft brown eyes and smiled.  "Heaven is where the kind people will be."

I believe that mothers are here to create a place for their families that feels like a bit of heaven on earth.  A clean, orderly home....warm dinners made with love....this all became harder for me after my divorce and I was now the bread-winner as well as the bread-maker.  I had to hire my "wise-woman" friend, Phoebe to clean and organize my home as I went running about...making a living.

Being a "Wise Woman" in today's world is all about setting one's priorities.  What is the most important quality you want your children to remember about you?  My mother is a "Kind Woman".  I want to be as kind and as loving to my children as my mother was to me.  My mother is a giver of genuine compliments.  I have never once belittled anyone of my four children, or negated them in anyway---- especially during a crucial time when they did not believe in themselves.  

A "Wise Woman" keeps on believing in who her child truly is---even when the child forgets.  It is up to us as wise women to reflect from our eyes, voices, facial expressions and tones of voices....that we do not doubt our children....that we will never forsake them....that we will never let them suffer the consequences all alone...that just as Christ suffered for our sins, so we as mothers who love greatly and deeply will shed tears when our children suffer.  A wise woman may be seen as a little "enabling".  But in my book, I will never cease to enable my children to have second chances...as that is how the wisest woman in the heavens would want me to rear her spirit offspring.

For you see, when it is all said and done...my children, who I have given my body to be their growing place and my home to be their nesting place, are really only on loan to me.  The Wisest Woman is the Mother of their Spirits and I will have to answer to Her one day.  How did I treat her children?  How deeply did I love them?  Was I good example of Her love to them?  

That is the wisdom I care to give to Abby and Steven in Asher's behalf.  Forget the wooden spoons and just ladel out your love!

Sunday Journal: "When Listening Hearts Hear Angels Sing" --- 5:43 a.m. With Love, Your Joy Coach, Karyn Grant :)

“Listening Hearts Hear Angels Sing”

I awakened, on October 25^th, prior to my “Joy Coaching Webinar”,  to my cell phone ringing, early one morning.  Sleepily, I picked it up and tried to read the number, without my contacts.  It was a foreign number, one that I didn’t recognize.  As I answered the call, I heard a beautiful voice on the other end, with an enchanting English accent.  It was Ginny, calling from South Africa.

Ginny and I had never met before.  She had discovered my “Joy Coaching” business by doing an internet search on “Google”. We had been sending emails back and forth, searching for the perfect time to chat, between our eight hour difference in international time zones.  "Hmmm..." I thought to myself... "God truly does hear and answer prayers!" I had been praying, "Oh Lord, increase my territory!" since I inherited my father's book, "The Prayer of Jabez".

 “Karyn, I have not been able to get you off my mind!  I even dreamt your name!” She said with an infectious laugh and intriguing accent.

I was recovering from a sore throat, and only wished that I could express my joyful sentiments in return.  As we talked that early morning, Ginny shared her work with me.  “I teach parents how to love and nurture their children!  When I found that you use music, massage and aromatherapy, I was thrilled!”  Ginny went on to express how she too, felt that touch, songs and scent were important applications when nurturing a parent who is in need of experiencing, the art of cherishing, so that they can nurture and respond to their children, with pure love.”

Though Ginny and I had never met, nor spoken before, it was clear that our timely discovery of one another’s gifts, interests, hobbies and callings, were nothing short of Divine Intervention!  My only sorrow, in the moment, was that all I could do was whisper, when my my heart was bubbling over with enthusiasm!

I shared a dream with Ginny, basically in a whisper, that I had never shared with anyone else before.  “Ginny, many years ago, when I was working at my business, “The Cherishing Place”, I had a dream.  I dreamed that I was in a third world country, standing beside the Savior.  His white sleeves on his loose white robe, were rolled up.  His hair was in a pony tail.  I had never envisioned Jesus this way, but, it was clear in the dream that he was teaching me the work, of ministering to one soul at a time.  There was someone laying on a massage table in front of us.  He showed me how to lay one hand, suspended in the air, about three to four inches above the heart, while placing the other hand, suspended over the mind.  He shared with me, non-verbally, the importance of having the heart and mind, integrated into a perfect state of “divine oneness” in order to create harmony, peace, love and balance in a human soul.  He shared with me, that by communicating merely by thought, that if I would attend to the “heart and mind connection”, that the cells, molecules and atoms of the human being, would follow in attuning to that sense of healing and wholeness.”

I went on whispering the rest of my dream, to Ginny.  "As I beheld the Savior’s healing hands, I was filled with the desire to go to a third world country.  He told me that this would not be necessary.  He told me that I live in a third world country when it comes to souls that are hungering and thirsting after righteousness.  He told me that there was plenty of work for me to do, right here and right now, in 'The United States of America.'

Ginny was quiet on the other end of the phone.  Then with a joyful laugh, she said, “Karyn, I am sitting here in a long white robe, with my hair in a ponytail!”  She proceeded to share with me, how she lives in Capetown, South Africa, where there is an abundance of beauty and wealth.  Her loving voice smiled on the other end of the phone, as I listened to her tell me about the women in the townships, just a few miles away. 

Ginny explained their plight to me now.  “These women have lived in subservience for generations.  They are rich in love, in community and are wealthy when it comes to loving and serving their families and their neighbors.  They laugh at those of us who live in the big houses and drive fancy cars!  They think that we are the ones who live in poverty!  We are always busy and never have enough time to get to know our neighbors!”

Ginny went on to express that these women, have the gift of healing in their hands.  They suffer from low self worth and do not feel as though they deserve anything.  Feelings of unworthiness have been passed on to them, for generations, by those who have been mistreated by those who have oppressed them.  They have been mistreated for so long, that they do not even lift their eyes when they talk.  But, Karyn, these women are so gifted!  They do not realize the gift of healing that is in their own hands!"

I shared with Ginny, in hushed tones, about the story my mother had sent to me over a decade about "The African Singing Tribe" of women, who go out into nature and listen to the sounds in the wild.  How they learn "the song of the child" and come back to the community and sing the song to the other mothers.  How in this one particular community, it was noted that there was a decrease in crime, because rather than punish the child when it expresses deviant behavior, they sing to the child.  All the women in this village, who have learned the song of that child, sing a song of remembrance to that child, reminding him/her of who they truly are!  Ginny, it was my mother's story to me, that became the premise for my method, "The Healer's Touch" using song and scent to remind souls who they truly are!

Ginny laughed again, "See, Karyn, it's all coming full circle!  Your mother sending you the story of this African tribe and now, your work gets to come here!" 

We talked about the purpose, the calling and the mission of “Joy Coaching”.  We talked about sharing the pure love of the Divine Creator with those, who may not be ready to fully embrace Him, but who are starving to know the truth about His unconditional love.  We spoke about the power of “The Healer’s Touch Method”, which accesses the heart and the mind, by incorporating all five senses, which can raise the vibration to peace, love and joy----not only for the person on the massage table, (or a simple mat), but as well, for the facilitator.

Now, came the questions about how to get “The Joyful Heart” library of one thousand songs,  from the United States to South Africa, without the risk of it taking a month, being stolen along the way, or having to pay tremendous tariffs for the product.

I knew there had to be a way, through the internet.  I quickly remembered a blessing which I had received only a month before this call on October 25^th, 2013.  “You have been reserved to come forth at this time in the world’s history, so that your voice can travel to the remote places of the world.”

I have a sore throat, and I have lost my voice!”  I said apologetically to Ginny.  “But, I wish you could hear my enthusiasm!  I am so excited!  I have been praying that angel’s will whisper my name to those who are ready for this work!”

“Yes, Karyn!” Ginny offered, to buoy up my confidence.  “I hear your enthusiasm! And I did hear your name being whispered to me in my dream!”

I suppose, when angels whisper, it only matters if we have ears to hear.  I remembered the angel doll, my sister had given me as a Christmas present, when I was beginning to write the songs of  my heart, all about the Savior’s infinite love for all of God’s Children.  “Listening hearts hear angels sing” had been inscribed onto the wings of the angel.

I remembered living in Grandma Grant’s basement after Grandpa had passed away, when I used to kneel beside my bed and pray regularly, “Please, Father in Heaven, please find the way to send the songs of my heart, written for and about the Savior’s redeeming love, on a mission.”

Suddenly, I knew that all the puzzle pieces were at last coming to together. And…I knew there would be more. The women I had been meeting across the nation, were all a part of God’s grand design to take a tender, loving, Christ-Centered Approach to those who are spiritually and emotionally starving, perhaps, even malnourished for the want of a rich supply of Living Bread and Living Water, to those with broken hearts.

And now, “Ginny”.  A reminder of God’s love, to me, nearly twenty five years, after I had begun praying, “Please, Father in Heaven, send this music on a mission!  Please bless it to travel to the places that I can’t travel. Please bless it to reach the souls who are in need of the pure love of Christ, to find it, to hear it and to have their broken hearts be touched, blessed and comforted by it.”

I know it matters, not, if I am there in person.  What matters is that “The Healer’s Touch” is all about the Savior’s Gift of Healing, not mine.  It’s all about women creating a healing place, a quiet place, where angels can come minister, while the unseen Savior, behind the scenes does the work that only He can do.

We are the earth-angels who prepare the healing place, provide the song, the scents, the gentle touch, and then simply behold, in absolute awe….as the Savior’s, “The Healer’s Touch”, performs the miracle.

Why "The Healer’s Touch Method" Works!

Vibrational Attunment Through:

The Pathways To Healing Through The Five Physical Senses

By Karyn Grant, The Joy Coach

Are you aware, that it is through your God-Given physical senses that spiritual-emotional memories are established in the very cells and atoms of your heart-mind-body-spirit? Did you know that the more you access and involve your physical senses in any spiritual experience or emotional process, the deeper that experience is imprinted into the heart, mind, body and spirit at a spiritual, emotional, physical, atomic and metaphysical level?

Did you know that the strongest connection you made when you were first born was through your five physical senses?  Consider this image in your mind.  Imagine yourself as a brand new baby, being held, cradled and caressed in your mother’s arms.  You feel her soothing touch on your soft, velvety cheek as she smiles into your newborn eyes and whispers how much she loves you.  She cradles you at her breast and nurtures you with the sense of taste, or rocks you as she feeds you your bottle.  As you breathe in her scent, you further bond to her.  Every sense is involved in this first perception of receiving her adoration, her nurturing, her cherishing. 

As you grow, there may be negative stimuli associated through your senses to your mother.  You may hear her voice become agitated with you (sense of hearing).  You may see her eyebrows furrowed as she tells you to go and clean your room. (Sense of sight)  You may not like the taste of her cooking.  Our first memories of our primary nurturers hopefully, are pleasant and positive ones.  This serves to give a sense of security, a sense of safety, a sense of being nurturered, a sense of being loved---all through our five physical senses. 

In order to re-create this sense of safety, security and love, we must repeat the process.  Hence, through The Healer’s Touch Method, we access the five physical senses to remind the heart-mind-body-spirit of our first impressions of life.

Therefore, it is by tapping into the physical senses, that you can access the sense of the divine within, or on the contrary, the sensual realm within.  The intention of The Healer’s Touch Method is to create a series of repeated processes that accentuates the positive,  the divinity within.  In this process, by using music, massage, aromatherapy, guided imagery and the sense of taste, we thereby, set the hard-drive of the heart-mind into motion to automatically begin eliminating the negative, destructive, base desires and memories; much like dumping old programs and virus’ off a computer hard-drive and begin uploading new and improved programs for Christ-Centered Healing in the Heart-Mind-Body-Spirit.

I will elect to show you how each one of the senses can be accessed in order to not only eliminate negative programming but utilized to establish the integration of positive programming into the memory banks of our beings at a sub-conscious, creative conscious, conscious, cellular and atomic level.

The Sense of Touch:

Through the sense of touch, the nerve endings send messages to our heart-mind that we are either being touched in a positive or negative way.  If we are touched in a positive way, a way that shows honor to the spiritual being within, we are imprinted with positive experiences and hence, memories that establish in our heart-mind-body-spirit that “touch is a good thing”.  If we have experienced being dishonored, through the sense of touch, we imprint and anchor into our cellular memory, that touch is adversely, a bad thing or something to be cautious and wary of.  Whether we have experienced “touch deprivation” or abuse through the sense of touch, we can be healed of our perception that touch is a bad thing.  Through “The Healer’s Touch Method”, we use therapeutic, compassionate touch to establish feelings of safety, respect and honor, through the physical sense, recognizing that we are programming the heart-mind-body-spirit with positive programming that establishes into the cellular memory that we are loved, nurtured, cherished and adored.

The Sense of Smell

Did you know that the sense of smell is the only one of the five physical senses that is connected to the limbic centers of the brain?  Thus, by using Aromatherapy, we can create a conduit or passageway into the recesses of the mind, that channel  positive aromas or negative aromas which thereby imprint positive or negative associations with particular memories.  Likewise, through the same process, negative emotions that are anchored into the mind, in the amagdyla (two almond shaped glands that retain the imprinting of negative or traumatic memories), may be released by the fine molecules of aromas that have the intelligence for “dispatching” negative memories and replacing them with positive ones through the sense of smell.

The Sense of Hearing

Through the sense of hearing, sound waves, music as therapy, positive words affirming the worth and value of a soul, are conducted into the belief systems of the mind brain which transmit vibrations which are proficient in producing vibrational energies of light, love and truth.  Music performs a massage on an atomic level which assists in the purging process of toxins and negative emotional energies. 

Affirming words create positive reinforcement that raise the vibration in the body which dispels self-doubt, misbeliefs about oneself, and helps to eliminate and eradicate negative and limiting beliefs.  Loving lyrics coupled with beautiful instrumentals, work through the right and left hemispheres of the mind-brain, awakening new thoughts which in turn stimulate emotional responses which then redirects the heart’s desires and the dictates of one’s conscious mind into positive actions.  Music is a great conductor of positive energies, which stimulate a unification, a cellular symphony, so to speak, where heart-mind-body and spirit are working together for the well being and ultimate health of the entire human being.

The Sense of Sight- (Insight)

It has been said that “Some of the greatest sights we will ever see are behind our eyes, not before them.”  Through the stimulation of our visual perceptions, through guided imagery and positive visualization, the mind-brain can begin to imagine new “insights”.  “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”  Old images and belief systems can be replaced with new images of new behaviors simply by visualizing them.  Since the brain does not perceive the difference between “real” or “perceived” experiences, we can suggest to the mind,  through whispered words of affirmation, a new self-image by introducing positive pictures into the memory banks; thus creating different actions and outcomes.

Dancing With Angels: One Hundred Thousand Angels On My Side

“Dancing With Angels” is part of the “Joy Coaching Series".  This module moves us towards a deeper understanding of how our childhood wounds, that once blocked the path to joy, can now become the impetus for healing; as well as the catalyst for bringing our gifts to the surface!  Again, like “The Enlightened Journey”, it is about learning to forgive, accept and love, the person in the mirror and the circumstances that we have ventured into without always knowing the outcome.  It is about transcending our addictions, weaknesses and follies and awakening to the angel within.

The "Dancing With Angels" manual, is a guide to claiming the gift of ministering angels during a mortal life that may be fraught with confusing twists and turns.  It is also about learning how to forgive ourselves when we take a detour; and continuing the journey with divine intervention; the ministering of angels.  We are nurturing women on missions, learning that mercy supersedes justice and compassion transcends judgment in our divine roles as wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, business associates...and traveling companions.

"Dancing with Angels" is about accessing our talents, skills and abilities.  It is about humbling asking for help in our divine assignments and roles.  It is about becoming open and honest with our emotions, our inadequacies, our past choices and our present circumstances.  We all stand in need of ministering angels; whether we feel that we deserve them or not.  Tennyson once said that “not even the angels themselves can minister to mortals as well as a mortal who has been broken in the wheels of living…”  I believe that our life’s experiences become our  “Master’s Degree” through which we learn to minister to one another’s wounds and encourage one another to become our noblest and finest selves.

Though this module is about healing the hidden wounds of the heart and mind; it is also about developing the gift of unconditional love for others so that we may be with our stewardships, in their own crucial moments.  We are learning to speak the messages that God put into our hearts and minds to deliver to our spouse, our children, our friends and our clients.  

Our hearts are turned to our mortal parents in compassion; realizing they did the best they knew how to do at the time.  Our souls are filled with the very hope that our children will have compassion upon us.  There is a need to extend healing beyond the veil, inter-dimensionally to those who have lived and died and now look upon us with great tenderness and compassion; wishing to assist us in clearing up the path for unborn generations to come. 

It is time to heal the generations; past, present and future.  In our effort to be made whole, or complete, we must realize that when we embrace the atonement for ourselves, a ripple effect is sent out forward and backward into the universe.  We  are not alone; we are all one.  In our search for unconditional love, many of us have turned to “other loves before God”, in an effort to solace, comfort and heal our broken hearts.   “All else shall fail...except Charity; which is the absolute mercy; even the pure love of Christ.”

Angels have come and joined me on my path.  They have walked before me and behind me, to my left and to my right; angels both seen and unseen.  But, the dearest of them all, is our Savior, Jesus Christ, who has never for one moment, left my side.  It is He, who has taught me in my journey, that it is my assignment to be a “robe carrier”. Everywhere I go, to everyone I meet, I offer each, a robe of mercy.  Perhaps, because I have come to value the gift of mercy above any of the other attributes of Christ.  Perhaps, because I have come to believe in the principle of forgiveness.  Through it all I have learned; “Bless are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy…”  But, the most important person we must learn to forgive…is the divine reflection in the mirror.

Enlightened Journey: A Woman's Journey With Joy!

There comes a point in each one of our lives, when we need to survey the scene, scan the vistas we have traveled, and glean the blessings in disguise. As we gaze upon our lives, through the Savior's eyes, we may be surprised to see ourselves with greater love, empathy, kindness and compassion, if we will take the time to see ourselves, through His divine perspective!

 

As we connect to our sense of self, soul and cells, we come to realize that we must learn to be, our very own best friend.  After all, it is our choice to nurture ourselves or not, that will bear the fruits of our labors; the nurturing or negligence of our own self and soul.

 

"Enlightened Journey" is all about ascending the hillside with Christ.  It is about setting new goals to release old patterns, fruitless addictions and embrace what matters most.  It is about becoming honest with ourselves and with God, realizing that we are only accountable for ourselves!

 

I hope you will enjoy this module!  It took me two years to experience it and write it!  Step by step, song by song, meditation by meditation, I learned to lean upon Christ until I finally could reach out into the darkness and hold his hand.  It was in this module I learned that by dancing with Jesus, I was coming to a place of forgiveness for my Self, which has blessed me with a lasting place of inner peace.  I found in the darkness, that Christ illuminated my heart and found his sanctuary within my soul.  

 

Read Galations 2:20 today.  I will not write out the scripture for you...I urge you to open your scriptures and read it for yourselves.  This verse is becoming the result for my passion in finding my way through the world, to Christ.

 

Four CDs for "Night-Time Nurturing" leads us through "A Woman's Journey to Wholeness".  In essence, if you don't nurture yourself in Christ's love and light...who will?

 

Much Love,

Karyn

Peace Coaching - "Is There No Balm in Gilead?"

In ancient times, when the people were ailing from physical distress, they turned to the resin of a tree, to bring relief to their physical maladies.  Later, the term, "Balm of Gilead" came to denote the "salve", or salvation of Christ's saving graces.  

Have we become so focused upon the pursuit of physical relief that we have forgotten to place Christ at the center of our lives?  There is no essential oil, that can save, or "salve" us from deep emotional duress.  There is no ointment to replace the need for the "atonement".  There is no plant-blood that can 

take the place of our need for the Savior's atoning lifeblood, to cleanse our hearts and minds from childhood griefs, the pains of puberty, or the ailments of adulthood.

The essences of plants, point to Christ.  Today, as I gave a "Peace Coaching" Session to a 23 year old young man, I explained how plants gravitate to sunlight.  I told him, "People are the only one of God's creations, that use their agency to gravitate towards the darkness."  He nodded his head in agreement.  

I muscle tested him for a small group of oils, and began to create a blend, specific to his needs.  He loved his new blend and expressed his desire to change his life. As tears streamed his cheeks, he admitted his desire to "gravitate towards the light" and expressed his disdain for "darkness".

I think of how the essential oils opened up the conversation between us.  As I explained how Wild Orange helps one to overcome "perfectionism", I watched as he breathed his way towards self-acceptance.  As I expressed that Bergamot inspires us to love ourselves, I witnessed as he exhaled the resentment that he had suppressed inside his soul.  As I shared how lemon is cleansing, and encouraged him to allow his mind to be filled with sunlight, I saw peace replace his tear stained face.

During his session, I pointed out how each of the oils had come to bless him emotionally and spiritually.  I beheld in sweet awe as he opened his mind and heart and began gracefully shifting from the lower vibrations of self-contempt into the higher vibrations of passionate exuberance for life.

Following his session, he sat in my office with paper and pen, feeling the need to write some notes about his plans to re-create his life.  He placed the little vial of oils that I had created for him into his pocket, as though he was safe-guarding a piece of gold.  Truly, he was---for his gift from Mother Earth and Mother in Heaven today, was a "ray...a drop of golden sun"!

There is no sweeter work than the work of Joy-Coaching; which is assisting others in discovering their gift and delivering their message!  Except, perhaps, the work of inspiring souls, with "the balm of gilead" to replace "the blame and guilt" of a peace-less life.

How can we work towards "World Peace" if we have not achieved "Personal Peace"?  How can we focus only on the physical benefits of the oils without giving credit to the Divine Creator for manifesting his creativity in healing our broken hearts and wounded spirits?

Jeremiah said it best, when he said, "Is there no balm in Gilead?  I take this to mean, "Is there no credence for Christ's atoning sacrifice?"  It is my hope and prayer that as you visit with me, you find yourself hungering and thirsting for more imput about the pure intention of the oils which is to not only act as ointment and salve to the human being; but to become part of a higher design----for the anointment and salvation of men's souls.

When Christ left his disciples, he parted with this message, "Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you...."

The oils are most precious when they are combined with the love of God.  That is when the oils vibrate at their highest potential---when the person administering them understands that they are merely a witness of God's love.
